For the final episode of AMC’s Breaking Bad show, I created these two posters of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). If you’ve seen the show you’d immediately recognize the blue as a representation of Walter’s high-purity methamphetamine. Without spoiling the show, you’ll notice there is more blue crystal on Pinkman’s face than there is on Walt’s. In that lies the concept of these posters. The posters were created for fun using only a few images.

Shawn Smith is the artist behind these fantastic, pixel-ish looking sculptures. Each is painted using acrylic paint over top short sticks of balsa or bass wood on edge. What surprised me most about these pieces is that they’re very dimensional. If you look at them from the plane they sit on you can see exactly what I’m talking about. Definitely check out more of Shawn’s work on his website.

Gil Bruvel a Texas based artist, is the creator of these remarkable stainless steel sculptures. Though I’m not sure exactly how these are made, it appears that he molds the shape initially using clay or a plaster and then casts the form in stainless steel.

…with each ribbon, the eye bends, curves, assembles, deforms, and traces the edges of each subject. The ribbons direct my emotions and creative flow with a force like I have never felt before. The smaller ones are subtle-the larger ones are essential, but they all flow together to create one being. The multiple patterns of the lines effectively illustrate the multifaceted parts of what makes us human.

These pieces of art created by Andrew Myers are very intriguing. Each piece uses screws at different depths to give the piece it’s own depth. After placing the screws, he uses oils to paint the image on the heads of the screws which also help bring the piece alive.

In this sculpture series titled ‘Drip’, Regardt says that “the human body with its strength and fragility lie at the core of this series of works, while exposing the illusion of safety in modern society.” Each of the pieces are made from steel pieces welded together.
